03 · Technical state & secrets
What belongs beside the setting—but not inside the decision?
Core caches, update state, rewrite rules, cron, locks, and migration markers are treated as generated or technical state rather than user intent.
The adapter-wide technical boundary still applies; absence here is not proof that a save has no runtime side effects.
Known secret paths
No secret field is declared inside this exact option schema. ConfigOps still applies its conservative global secret detector.

Adapter-backed, not Smart Undo.

Supported values can use adapter-aware, conflict-checked Undo when evidence is complete and the current value still matches.
No. Smart Undo is only for ordinary associative options that no adapter claims. This option is adapter-owned.
History boundary: ConfigOps records only saves it observes while active. It cannot tell you what changed this row before installation.
